Get Stacked – Jalapeno & Cheese Bagels

You may have noticed that there is a huge buzz in the food world about a magical new dough that was created by Weight Watchers. The only ingredients that they call for are all-purpose flour and Greek yogurt. There are hundreds of different variations, and people are using the dough for all kinds of recipes, but the most common use is for bagels. I can’t lie I was a little annoyed that they used white flour, but that seems to be the only type of All Purpose flour you can find in the store. Did you really think I would let that slide? Not a chance. Welcome to the world of wheat all purpose flour and it is just as easy as buying the bag already mixed.

My version is going to give you a little extra fiber, a little bit of sweet, just the right amount of cheese, and some spice. What I like about these bagels is that they are loaded with protein and they are super easy to make. For all my Vegan, and plant-based friends, hang in there. I am working on a dairy free version, but currently it is still a work in progress. Most of the plant-based yogurts are not thick enough for the dough to work. It is super sticky to work with. But for the rest of you, these are a must try. You are going to fall in love and want to make them all the time. I created this flavor combo for sandwiches and it was a great choice. Cut them in half, stack them with all your favorite sandwich goodies and you are on your way.

Today you are also going to learn how to make your own all-purpose flour. If you are like me and try to steer clear of white flour at all costs, you will be glad to find out how easy it is to make your own. Plus, I like mixing up my own because it isn’t as salty as the stuff that you buy in the store. Are you ready to have your mind blown? All you need is 1 cup of wheat flour (I like to use white wheat because it is softer) 1 ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Yep, that is it. It is truly that easy. Now you will never be caught without all-purpose flour ever again.

There really isn’t much more to explain about these bagels. They are truly that easy. I can see a lot more variations coming your way in the future. Get creative and let me know how you stack your bagel. Don’t hold back, if there is a topping you love use it! I made mine fairly mellow with Black Forest ham, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and chili lime dressing. But first things first, get in that kitchen and bake a batch so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy!
